And how do you think I celebrate today....with a quilt, of course ;0) I made this last fall some time with the Miniatures Collection by Windham (i think) and the pattern is Tag Sale from Miss Rosie's. But I just had it quilted a couple of weeks ago and put the binding on last weekend! I like how it has kind of a vintage look and it's very comfy to cuddle up in.
Well this is a new kind of July 4th for me. Daughter #1 is in St. Louis with friends, Daughter #2 is in Edmond with friends & then on to Mustang to see my Mom (her first july 4th w/o my Dad in over 50 yrs) and my hubby just left with his Mom to go to their family reunion in Kansas (& I've done that one too many times). Thankfully Daughter #3 is here with me and maybe #2 will be home later. I did ask my Mom to come up but she likes to be at home because her town allows fireworks right in the street and everyone from all of the surrounding communities flock there. I would have gone to her house but my town has a big Boomer Blast at the lake 1 block from my house so I like to be close as my neighborhood fills up with cars and people. So I will sew a bunch, swim a little, eat too much, watch fireworks out of my gameroom window and maybe watch Independence Day with #3 later tonight. At least that's my plan right now!
I just want to say that I am so proud to be an American. And even though prices are up, jobs are down and sometimes things don't look too rosy...I still live in the greatest country in the world and I'm also proud of our service men and women who fight and lose their lives to keep it that way!!!
